Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Early the next morning, Xie Jiaojiao packed the freshest food and prepared to send it to Shopkeeper Chen. However, before she reached the village entrance, she saw the waiter driving a ox cart there.

At first I thought I was seeing things, but after rubbing my eyes, I confirmed that it was the waiter.

Many people in the village were watching.

The waiter got off the cart and said, "Thank you, Miss. The shopkeeper asked me to get some mushrooms."

While talking, he took off the backpack on Xie Jiaojiao's back.

Xie Jiaojiao was a little surprised: "I can just deliver them to the town for you every day, you don't have to make this trip." It would be so troublesome to make a special trip with a basket of mushrooms.

The waiter smiled and said, "It's okay! The shopkeeper said that if Miss Xie has a lot of mushrooms at home, I can also pick more. We have a restaurant in the county town and we can eat them."

In fact, this was Jiang Weinan's order.

Xie Jiaojiao immediately showed joy: "Really? I still have some at home, I'll bring them all to you."

"I'm with Miss Xie."

Xie Jiaojiao sat on the other side of the ox cart: "It's really hard for you to make this trip this morning."

The waiter smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Miss. Don't say that. Actually, I should thank you even more. Don't you know that for this trip, the shopkeeper gives me an extra ten coins a day! That's three coins a month."

After he said this, Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything more.

Sun Ruhua was very surprised to see Xie Jiaojiao coming back.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Mom, Shopkeeper Chen has arranged for someone to come to our house to pick up the mushrooms. You should quickly pick them up and select the good ones."

"Ah? Oh. Okay!" Sun Ruhua wiped her hands on her apron and went there immediately.

Xie Jiaojiao took two steamed buns from the pot and gave them to the waiter outside: "You haven't had breakfast yet, eat something first."

The waiter hurriedly said he didn't want it, but Xie Jiaojiao forced it on him: "Take it and eat it. I'll go help my mother."

By the time the waiter had finished eating, the mushrooms were almost ready.

After the weighing, the sun began to peek out from the horizon.

The waiter said, "Thank you, Miss. The shopkeeper said that you can go to the town every ten days and he will settle your bill. You can pack everything up tomorrow and I will come early in the morning to pick it up so that we can deliver it to the county town earlier."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

The waiter hurriedly drove away in the ox cart.

When the villagers saw so many mushrooms being taken away from Xie Jiaojiao's house, they became more enthusiastic to go up the mountain. After all, these mushrooms were free. They could be picked and sold on the same day, and any money they picked up could be cash.

There were some that were not in good condition, so Xie Jiaojiao asked Sun Ruhua to dry them up so that they could be sold as dry goods later.

All day long, Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua were busy at home collecting, sorting and drying mushrooms.

A month passed like this, and batches of wild mushrooms in the yard were dried. Xie Jiaojiao packed the dried mushrooms in sacks and put them all in the cellar in the backyard to prevent them from getting damp.

In the meantime, Xie Zhili also brought some mushrooms to sell, but Xie Jiaojiao confiscated them directly. Xie Zhili was unhappy: "Why do you accept theirs but not mine?"

Xie Jiaojiao sneered: "Why shouldn't I accept yours? Don't you know what's going on?"

The people queuing behind Xie Zhili were urging him on.

Xie Zhili pointed at Xie Jiaojiao and said angrily: "Okay! Xie Jiaojiao, you have guts!"

Seeing him leave, Xie Jiaojiao said to the people in line behind him: "If any of you want to help Xie Zhili sell mushrooms, and I find out, I will make you pay me back all the money! So please be honest."

When Xie Jiaojiao said this, she was staring at the He family, and the He family's daughter-in-law immediately lowered her head.

Everyone knew about the things between the two families, and they nodded and told her not to worry, saying that no one would cut off their source of income.

The whole summer passed like this. Xie Zhili pointed in the direction of Xie Jiaojiao's house and cursed her the whole summer in the village. Especially when he saw other people selling mushrooms, went to the street to buy meat to eat, and smelled the fragrance coming from other people's homes, he hated Xie Jiaojiao even more.

Zhou Cuihong didn't dare to offend Xie Zhili. During this period, Xie Zhili was very suspicious of her. He stared at Xie Kun's face all day long, then looked at her, and then looked at himself in the basin. Zhou Cuihong was very scared, afraid that he would see something!

This summer, the villagers followed Xie Jiaojiao and made a lot of money. The most important thing is that there is no cost to make this money, and the things in the mountain are free.

Everyone was very grateful to Xie Jiaojiao, especially the families in the village who had little land and were poor. They were even more grateful to Xie Jiaojiao!

This resulted in that even if Xie Jiaojiao took a walk on the edge of the field to digest her food after dinner, someone would greet her. It seemed that because of this, her relationship with the villagers had improved a lot.

After summer, autumn comes. After autumn, there are fewer mushrooms on the mountains. The villagers and every household in the village are busy and start to harvest. Looking around, the fields are golden everywhere, and ripe rice is hanging on the seedlings. Every household has a smile on their face, and everyone is amazed that it is another bumper year.

Xie Jiaojiao hired someone to help harvest the rice. Once the rice was stored in the warehouse, Sun Ruhua felt relieved. Touching the full grains of rice in the warehouse, she smiled and said, "This year we harvested more rice than in previous years!"

"Mom, even if the harvest is bad, I can still support you and Zhiyi!"

"That's different!" Sun Ruhua built a granary. No matter how good the farmers' lives are, they still care about food!

Xie Jiaojiao was calculating the account book under the eaves. This account book was made by herself, and it recorded the family's income and expenditure in her own way.

"Mom, we can't put off repairing the house any longer."

When Sun Ruhua heard her say this, she immediately turned around and said, "Mom wanted to talk to you about this, too. Since you took the initiative to bring it up, I will go and do it tomorrow morning."

"And... Mother, if possible, you can ask the village chief to make our homestead more spacious. Money is not a problem. Once the house is built, I will have other uses for it."

"Okay, Mom got it. I'll go make dinner first."

The next morning, Sun Ruhua took some things and went to the village chief's house. Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Zhiyi were at home, picking out the rabbits that Xie Zhiyi raised in the backyard. This year, the rabbits had laid several litters, and there were more and more rabbits, which was troublesome to raise. Xie Zhiyi asked Xie Jiaojiao to take some for him to sell.

They were still busy in the backyard when the front yard suddenly became lively with the sound of gongs and drums.

Xie Jiaojiao put the rabbit down and went to the front yard.

The matchmaker Zhang, who was in the lead, immediately laughed when she saw Xie Jiaojiao.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at her but couldn't laugh.

"Oh, Miss Xie, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you look even more beautiful!"

Many villagers gathered outside the yard to watch the fun.

Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything, Matchmaker Zhang looked around and asked, "Miss Xie, where is your mother, Madam Sun?"

"My mother is out on business. If the matchmaker has anything to do, why not come back another day?"

Xie Jiaojiao said this and was about to chase the person out.

How could Zhang the matchmaker be driven away by her? Instead, she held her hand and said, "If your mother is not here, it's okay to tell Miss Xie. I have to show it to you anyway."

After that, Matchmaker Zhang handed Xie Jiaojiao a red card and said, "Miss Xie, take a look. This is the auspicious date that the Jiang family has arranged for next year. Miss Xie can choose a date that is above, so that I can go back and announce the good news to the Jiang family."
